that is derived from interest on United States
securities which pay not overly per cent.; then
deduct all he receives from Government for ollice.
unless it exceeds §600 a year ; then deduct all hia
profits from bank or saving deposits, insurance,
gas,bridge, express, telegraph, steamboat, ferry or
railroad stocks, these arc otherwise taxed, or from

perhaps manage to pay his income tax without
the necessity of taking chloroform to blunt the
pain of the terrible operation.—S. F, Bulletin,
"Stonewall" Jackson,
Correspondence dated Martinaburg, Va., Juno
lDtb, in the N. Y. Tribune, says :
B Don't believe tbat Stonewall Jackson ia either
killed or captured ; for if ho wore indeed dead, it
would surely not bo known for months to como;
and if ho were ti prisoner, it would be known already beyond a peradventuro. Tho fact is the
man is alive to his own value, and is personally
prudent. Ilia courage ia of the cool and wary sort,
by no meana partaking of Ashby's defiant effrontery ; and for a body-guard ho has hie whole army,
(by this time 40.000 strong,) to each and every
man of whom he Ib an object of peculiar and pae-
siouato pride. For my own part, I am Incredulous
of theae newspaper and street-corner corpsea and
captures, which are always falling to us just in the
nick of time, as if every arch-rebel of them, the
moment ho becomes famous, waa smitten with an
jrreasletiblo impulse to die for onr comfort, or be
" bagged" for our convenience. I am even fixed
in the conviction that, at this present writing
Turner Ashby is no more dead than John Brown'
and we all know that hia (soul's a-marcuing on'
But let us kill " Old Stonewall,'' nevertheless, for
tho eake of writing his obituary and pretending to
know all about him, In taking my turn, then, at
his seasonable dissection, I warn you that I got my
facts from tho friends of the subject, and if my
demonstration in any respect resembles thoae of
our " well-informed cotemporariea," North or
South, content yourself with wondering at the coincidence, or admiring their Ingenuity.
Thomas Jefferson Jackson was born in Lewis
county, Virginia, 1823. IIo is, therefore, just 37
years old—the fatal ago for men of genius—an argument against me. Hia family, though by no
means wealthy, was one of rxtonsivo and influential ramifications. Socially and politically their
status haa always been high, even in aristocratic
Virginia, and it was thia advantage, perhaps,
which saved our hero from neglect when he was
turned upon tho world a very poor young orphan i
for it waa by;faraily influence, exerted in behalf
of his intellectual and moral promise, that ha was
made a West Point Cadet at the age of 17. It was
his own couain, Judge Jacksou of the U. S, Court
who skedaddled irom Winchester last month on
tbo approach of the scamp Thomas Jefferson, recently petrified iuto "Stonewall." His pertinacity
in procuring hie cadetship shows tho man. Being
then a resident of Clarksburg, in Western Virginia
be walked from that place to Washington, bearing,
with him letters of recom rnr. ink tion to the Con-
grecBional Bepresontatlve of hlg District, m
kson to ft cadetship at West
Lieutenant for gallant conduct In the memorable
campaign from Vera Crus to Mexico. For the
same sufficing reason ho received a Captain's
Rhoulder straps at Cerro Gordo, and was breveted
Major at Cbapultepcc "for distinguished services.''
On his return homo with impaired health after the
he resigned bis commission and waa elected
Professor of Natural aud Experimental Philosophy
n the military Institute of Virginia.
In connection with his Mexican career, by the
by, I recall an anecdote, characteristic of the man,
hich I first heard in Winchester, but which I find
well reproduced in the Philadelphia Inquirer of a
late date :
During the battle of Chapitltepec, where he
commanded a section of Magnuler'a battery attached to Pillow's Division, Jackson was ordered :
by that pitiful commander to withdraw his section,
according ta Pillow's craven idea, it was too
much exposed. Giving no heed whatever to the
General's order he rapidly limbered up and moved
his section a hundred yards nearer the eueray'a
works, where ho did great execution.
From the tranquility of his professorship he was
called by Gov. Letcher, wben this infernal rebellion broke out, to the bead of a regiment, and waa
assigned the command of Harper's Ferry "by the
unanimous recommendation of the Council and
the unanimous confirmation of the Convention."
Jackson, who had superceded several Virginia
Militia Generals there, waa in turn superceded by
Gen. Joe. Johnston. lie was then made a Brigadier by Jeff. Davis, and it was at the battle of Manassas, in command of the "Stonewall Brigade"
(so called because recruited from a stone-wall
country,) that he acquired hia now famoua sobriquet.
Tho rebel "account of Jackson's early operations,
at Winchester, if not veracious enough for history,
will at least uot fatiguo you ; it has not been reproduced in this section, I believe : "In March."
they say, " Winchester was again threatened by
such overwhelming forces, under Gen. Banks, that
every arrangement was made for an evacuation;
The Government stores and hospitals were removed ; tho various clothing and cooking societies
disbanded, and nothing left pertaining to an
army but the men composing it, Jackson's whole
force, including cavalry and militia did not amount
000 mon ; nevertheless,he twice offered battle
to the Union troops, on the 7th and llth of March.
On the night of the llth he withdrew without an
engagement, nnd on the morning of the 12th the
enemy marched into Winchester, a squadron of
Ashby'a Cavalry slowly retiring about one square
n advance of tbem. According to Gen. Shields'
account, there was a Union force* of 15,000 in the
town at the timo of the battle fought on the 23d
March. Jackson, with only 3,500 men returned to
Winchester from Newmarket, and fought the battle of Kernestown—Union loss not less than 2,000
Confederate loss 41"}." Barring the Imaginative
element in this account, it is not without interest.
Stonewall Jackson is everywhere described as a
" slow man," intellectually, even dull. Some say
he waB a tedious professor, aud all agree that he
bas a creeping look. And yet if you Rsk them
now what they mean by that, they say they do not
know ; "all they do know is that he is obstinate as
a mule, and plucky as a bull dog"—which means
just nothing of a man whose prime quality is celerity, quick conclusions, and startling execution :
who, aa a soldier, is as rapid aa bo is wary, abound'
ing in surprise, brave almost to rashness, and inventive almost to romance.
As for his outer man, he looks at least seven
years older than he ia—hia bight about 5 feet 10
inches; hia figure thick set, square shouldered,
and decidedly clumsy; his gait very awkward,]
stooping, and with long Btridea. He often walks
with hia head somewhat on one side, and his eyes
fixed upon the ground, imparting to his whole appearance that abstracted quality which young
ladies describe aa "absent-minded." A lady who
has known him long and well, has told me that she
never saw him on horseback without laughing—
short stirrups, knees cramped up, heels stuck out
bohiud, and chin on liis breast—a most unmllitary
phenomenon. In society he is quiet, but cheerful ;
not loquacious, but intelligent and shrewd ; in religion, tho bluest kind of a Presbyterian, and extremely strict in his church observances. In Winchester he took a very active part in revivals, and
habitually led the "Union" prayer meetings.
To illustrate tho popularity of the man : For
some reason, which haB never been mode public,
To all whom it may Concern.

AArcz of Jstci
the expediency of removing him from his command waa at one time freely discussed in the Con'
federate Cabinet, and all bnt two members favored
the motion. These two, arguing that a man of
sueh exemplary modesty, and yet of such intense
religious enthusiasm and Indomitable firmness,
must possess those moral elements which, combined with his military education and experience,
should constitute a great general,, Their opposition served to postpone a decision, and the motion
was held uuder consideration. Meantime, the
people of the valley got wind of the affair, and
with a great cry of indignation and threats 80 assailed the powers that bo at Richmond that the
question was dropped " like a hot potato." It waB
about tliis time that Jackson sent to Richmond his
rebel-famous despatch—"Send me more men and.
no orders, or moro orders and no men."
Such is tbe rebel Napoleon, for whom his people
venture to claim that in four weeks he has marched
350 miles and won four victories—that ho has crippled or dispersed the forces of Milroy and Schenck
at McDowell, Banks at Front Royal and Winchester, Fremont at Cross Keyes, and Shields at Port
itopublic—that he holds McDowell in check to take
oate ol Washington and Maryland, and monpolizes,
for the amusement ot the world, the attoniiou of
bIx distinguished generals.
But then the man is dead. Nevertheless, wheu
lately be fell back to Winchester from pursuing
Banks, he said to the people there: "Wben we
left you last March, we promised to return—and
hero we are. Now, with much mora confidence
we promise to return again, and soon. Only be
prudent and patient.'' And to the women : "Wben
the Union troops come in agaiu, as they will, do
not forget yourselves." * *
Just as I um closing this I get a fresh and interesting anecdote ol this fighting elder. The surgeon of one of the Indiana regiments and two of
his brother officers were captured by a party of
Ashby's cavalry and taken before Jackson. Ii
mediately on hearing their names be said : "It
was yon, gentlemen, who lately saved the property of a dear friend of mine in the valley from the
fury of your own men. I thank you. Havo you
any means of transportation back to your regiment?" " We have not, General." Ue then gave
them horses, an escort, and $100, and courteously
dismissed thom on their parole.
This is authentic. I have it from one of the
captured officers, whose names I am not at liberty
to mention.

THE TILL.KK OP TUB SOIL.
BY DAVID L. ROAM.
A liardy, sun-burnt man is he,
A hardy, sun burnt man ;
No sturdier man you'l! ever see,
Though all the world you scan.
In Bummer's heat, in winter's cold,
You'll find him at his toil :
O, far above the knights of old,
Is the tiller of the soil.
No weighty liars f-ccnrfl his door.
No ditch is dug around ;
His walls no cannon bristle o'er,
No dead lie on his ground.
A peaceful laborer is he,
Unknown in earth's turmoil ;
From many crushing sorrows free,
la the tiller of the soil.
Ilis stakes are seen on every side,
His barns are filled with grain ;
Though others hail not fortune's tide,
lie labors not in valu.
Tiie land gives up its rich increase,
The Bweet reward of toil,
And blest with happiness aud peace,
Is the tiller ot the soil.
lie trudges out at break of day.
And takes hia way along,
And us he turns the yielding clay,
He sings a joyful song.
He is no dull, unhappy wight,
Bound in misfortune's coil ;
The smile is bright, the heart is light,
Of the tiller of the soil.
And when the orb of day bas crowned
Wilh gold tho .western eky.
Before bis dwelling he is found,
With cheerful faces by—
With little laughing duplicates,
Caresses will not spoil;
O, joy at every tide awaits
The tiller of tbe soil.
A hardy, sun-burnt man is ho,
A hardy, sun-burnt man ;
But who can boast a hand eo free,
As he, the tiller, cau?
No summer's heat, no winter's cold,
The power has bim to foil:
O, far above the knights of old
Is the tiller of the soil!

Martin Van Uuvcit.
The announcement, by telegraph, that Martin
Van Buren, eighth President of the United States,
expired on the morning of the 24th of July, revives interest ina political career of remarkable
success. The deceased statesman was born at
Kinderhook, New York, December o, 1782. At
au early age he gave evidence of a superior understanding. HiB opportunities for gaining an education, however, were limited. At the age of
fourteen, he commenced the study of the law in
tho office of Francis Sylvester, a respectable lawyer of Kinderhook. When only eighteen, he waa
Convention to nominate a candidate for the Legislature. The last year of h.s preparatory studies
was passed in the ollice of William 1*. Van Ness,
in the city of New York, ln November 1803, in
the twenty-firBt year of his age, Mr. Van Buren
was admitted, as attorney at law, to the bar ofthe
Supreme Court ofthe State of New York, and immediately returned to his native village to commence the practice of hia profession. He formed
a partnership in business with James I. Van Allen
a half-brother on his mother's side. In 1806, he
was admitted as a counselor in the Supreme Court-
In 1808, ho was appointed Surrogate of Columbia
couuty, soou after which he removed to the city
of Hudson, where he resided during seven years,
rapidly advancing in his profession. In 1815 he
was appointed Attorney General of tho State.
His career ns a lawyer occupied twenty-five years)
aud was closed in the Spring of 1828. Van Buren
had continued to be an active politician of tho
Republican or Democratic party from the date of
his Gist participation in a nominating Convention-
It was in 1812 that he was, for the first time, a
candidate for an elective office. He was then
thirty years of age. After a,spirited canvas for
the office of State Senator, he triumphed over
Edward P. Livingston, aud thus entered the Legislature. In the Spring of 1816 he was re-elected
Senalor for the term of (our years. In the meantime, he also held the oflice of Attorney General—
which was permitted by the Constitution of the
State. Although subsequently characterized as a
''Northern man with Southern principles," it is
noticeable that in 181!) 'Mr. Van Buren voted for
the resolutions adopted by the New York Legislature opposing the admission of Missouri or any
other Territory into the Union without making
the prohibition of slavery therein an indispensable
condition of admission. In 1812 he was elected to
the Senate of the United States, in place of Nathan
Sanford. In the same year he took an active part
in the Convention called to revise the Constitution
of New York, and among other provisi ons of that
inftrumeut sustained the extension ol the right
of suffrage to colored citizens. As a member of
the Senate, Vau Bureu was a leading opponent of
the Administration of John Quincy Adams.
February, 1S27, he was re-elected to that body for
the term of six years. Circumstances, however,
soon caused his resignation. He was zealous and
active iu supporting General Jackson in 1828.
Governor Clinton of New York, who was also favorable to the electiou of Jacksou, died suddenly
in February, and this event induced the political
friends of Van Buren to nominate him for Governor of that State, to which office he was elected in
November 182S. In this position he remained but
a short time. On the 12th of March, 1829, he resigned the office of Governor in consequence of
bis appointment as Secretary of State ofthe United States under General Jackson. In the summer
of 1831, the Cabinet was dissolved, and Van Buren
was nominated Minister to Great Britaiu. He
repaired to the Court of St. James, but the nomination was lejccted by the Senate. The Democratic party denounced this as an act ot political
persecution, and Colonel Benton predicted that it
would make the rejected Minister President of the
United States. Wben Jackson was nominated for
re-election, in 1832, Van Bureu was placed upou
the same ticket as a canditate for the Vice Presidency, aud was elected. In May, 1835, the Baltimore Convention of the Democracy unanimously j
nominated him for Ihe Presidency. He received
an electoral vote of 170 to 12-1 for all other'*, and
was duly inaugurated on tho -1th of March, 1837
Of Van Bureu's administration, it is sufficient to
say here that it became very unpopular, ami
he became a candidate for re-election in 1840, he
was overwhelmingly beaten by General Harrison*
Soon after the 4th of March, 1841, the ex-Fresideut
retired to "Liudenwold," a fine retreat at Kinder-
book, uear the Hudson. But he continued to retain tho esteem of a powerful section of the Democratic party. At tho Baltimore Convention of
1844, a majority of the delegates were Van Bureu
men. But here tho oligarchy of the Sonth began
to assert it.*) mastery of the Democratic organization. They had determined to press the scheme of
annexing Texas to the Union, and knowing thai
Van Bureu was unfavorable to the project, they
killed bim off by the trick oftbe "two-thirds rule."
Ju 1848, whoa General Cass received tbe Democratic nomination, the " Barnburner" or Van
Buren section of the New York Democracy bolted.
Subsequently, a "free soil" Convention assembled
at Buffalo, New York, and nominated Martin
Van Buren and Charles Francis Adams for President and Vice President. They received no electoral votes, but of the popular vote obtained nearly
two hundred and fifty thousand. This was the
last time the uame of Van Bureu came before the
people in connection with public oflice. He continued to reside at Lindelwold, in tbe enjoyment
of tho society of numerous friends, until his death.
Since the outbreak of the civil war, he is said to
have given his cordial approval to tho grand uprising of the people to maintain tho supremacy o
the Governmeut. Professor Holland, in tbe course
of a memoir of our Eighth President, thus describes his personal appearance and manners,
when in the prime and vigor of his faculties :
Iu persona! appearance, Mr. Vau Bureu is about
the middle size ; his form is erect (and formerly
slender, but now incliuing to corpulance,) aud is
said to be capable of great endurance. His hair
and eyes are light, his features animated and expressive, especially the eye, wbich is indicative
of quick apprehension and close observation : his
forehead exhibits iu its depth aud expansion, fhe
marks of great iutellectual power. The physiognomist would accord to him penetration, quickness
of apprehension, and benevolence of disposition.
The phrenologist would add unusual reflective
faculties, firmuess aud cauticn.
The private character of Mr. Van Bureu is
ahove all^censure or Buspiciou. Iu tho relatione
of father and son, or husband brother, and friend,
he has always displayed those excellences of char
acter aud feeling which adorn human nature. Extending our view to the larger circle of his per-

with whom he had been couuecttd. The purity
of his motives, his integrity of character, and the
steadiness of his attachments, have always retained
for him the warm affection of many, even amoug
tho ranks of his political opponents.
Tie case aud frankness of his manners, his felicitous powers of conversation, aud the geueral
amiableness of his feelings, render him the ornament ol the social circle. Uniting in his character,
firmness aud forbearance ; habitual self respect
and a delicate regard for the feelings of others ;
neither the perplexities of legal practice, nor the
cares of public life, nor the annoyance of party
strife, have ever been able to disturb the serenity
of his temper, or to derange for a moment the
equanimity of his deportmeut. He has with equal
propriety mingled in the free iutercourse of private life, aud sustained the dignity of official

There are new rumors ou the street touching
the opeuiug of the proposed Nicaragua route to

O. Roberts, and Moses Taylor are largely interested in it and that the arrangements for the oneniug
are nearly completed. It ia further stated that the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company has a finger iu it,
and that, iu consequence, Mr. Vauderbilt has had
a flare-up with that compauy, and is now throwing his stock on the market. This statement seems
rather improbable, aud yet it is a fact that withiu
the past few days a large amount of that stock h»s

The Atlantic Cable Project.
An English paper says the amount of assistance
wliich the British Government has decided to lend
this Company, has now assumed a definite form.—
The Government agrees to make a new and more
complete survey of the bed of the Atlautic, and
will also grant use of vessels to lay cable. It appears that the original agreement to pay £14,000 a
year to the Telegraph Compauy so loug as the
cable is working, still exists; aud the Government
will uot, in a pecuniary way, go further thau Lhe
arrangement. Nothing is said about any connection with "auy other Government over thi
and not even most distant allusion made to any-
proposed connection. From this fact, I am inclined to still hold to the opinion expressed on i

perhaps manage to pay his income tax without

"Stonewall" Jackson,
Correspondence dated Martinaburg, Va., Juno
lDtb, in the N. Y. Tribune, says :
B Don't believe tbat Stonewall Jackson ia either
killed or captured ; for if ho wore indeed dead, it
would surely not bo known for months to como;
and if ho were ti prisoner, it would be known already beyond a peradventuro. Tho fact is the
man is alive to his own value, and is personally
prudent. Ilia courage ia of the cool and wary sort,
by no meana partaking of Ashby's defiant effrontery ; and for a body-guard ho has hie whole army,
(by this time 40.000 strong,) to each and every
man of whom he Ib an object of peculiar and pae-
siouato pride. For my own part, I am Incredulous
of theae newspaper and street-corner corpsea and
captures, which are always falling to us just in the
nick of time, as if every arch-rebel of them, the
moment ho becomes famous, waa smitten with an
jrreasletiblo impulse to die for onr comfort, or be
" bagged" for our convenience. I am even fixed
in the conviction that, at this present writing
Turner Ashby is no more dead than John Brown'
and we all know that hia (soul's a-marcuing on'
But let us kill " Old Stonewall,'' nevertheless, for
tho eake of writing his obituary and pretending to
know all about him, In taking my turn, then, at
his seasonable dissection, I warn you that I got my
facts from tho friends of the subject, and if my
demonstration in any respect resembles thoae of
our " well-informed cotemporariea," North or
South, content yourself with wondering at the coincidence, or admiring their Ingenuity.
Thomas Jefferson Jackson was born in Lewis
county, Virginia, 1823. IIo is, therefore, just 37
years old—the fatal ago for men of genius—an argument against me. Hia family, though by no
means wealthy, was one of rxtonsivo and influential ramifications. Socially and politically their
status haa always been high, even in aristocratic
Virginia, and it was thia advantage, perhaps,
which saved our hero from neglect when he was
turned upon tho world a very poor young orphan i
for it waa by;faraily influence, exerted in behalf
of his intellectual and moral promise, that ha was
made a West Point Cadet at the age of 17. It was
his own couain, Judge Jacksou of the U. S, Court
who skedaddled irom Winchester last month on
tbo approach of the scamp Thomas Jefferson, recently petrified iuto "Stonewall." His pertinacity
in procuring hie cadetship shows tho man. Being
then a resident of Clarksburg, in Western Virginia
be walked from that place to Washington, bearing,
with him letters of recom rnr. ink tion to the Con-
grecBional Bepresontatlve of hlg District, m
kson to ft cadetship at West
Lieutenant for gallant conduct In the memorable
campaign from Vera Crus to Mexico. For the
same sufficing reason ho received a Captain's
Rhoulder straps at Cerro Gordo, and was breveted
Major at Cbapultepcc "for distinguished services.''
On his return homo with impaired health after the
he resigned bis commission and waa elected
Professor of Natural aud Experimental Philosophy
n the military Institute of Virginia.
In connection with his Mexican career, by the
by, I recall an anecdote, characteristic of the man,
hich I first heard in Winchester, but which I find
well reproduced in the Philadelphia Inquirer of a
late date :
During the battle of Chapitltepec, where he
commanded a section of Magnuler'a battery attached to Pillow's Division, Jackson was ordered :
by that pitiful commander to withdraw his section,
according ta Pillow's craven idea, it was too
much exposed. Giving no heed whatever to the
General's order he rapidly limbered up and moved
his section a hundred yards nearer the eueray'a
works, where ho did great execution.
From the tranquility of his professorship he was
called by Gov. Letcher, wben this infernal rebellion broke out, to the bead of a regiment, and waa
assigned the command of Harper's Ferry "by the
unanimous recommendation of the Council and
the unanimous confirmation of the Convention."
Jackson, who had superceded several Virginia
Militia Generals there, waa in turn superceded by
Gen. Joe. Johnston. lie was then made a Brigadier by Jeff. Davis, and it was at the battle of Manassas, in command of the "Stonewall Brigade"
(so called because recruited from a stone-wall
country,) that he acquired hia now famoua sobriquet.
Tho rebel "account of Jackson's early operations,
at Winchester, if not veracious enough for history,
will at least uot fatiguo you ; it has not been reproduced in this section, I believe : "In March."
they say, " Winchester was again threatened by
such overwhelming forces, under Gen. Banks, that
every arrangement was made for an evacuation;
The Government stores and hospitals were removed ; tho various clothing and cooking societies
disbanded, and nothing left pertaining to an
army but the men composing it, Jackson's whole
force, including cavalry and militia did not amount
000 mon ; nevertheless,he twice offered battle
to the Union troops, on the 7th and llth of March.
On the night of the llth he withdrew without an
engagement, nnd on the morning of the 12th the
enemy marched into Winchester, a squadron of
Ashby'a Cavalry slowly retiring about one square
n advance of tbem. According to Gen. Shields'
account, there was a Union force* of 15,000 in the
town at the timo of the battle fought on the 23d
March. Jackson, with only 3,500 men returned to
Winchester from Newmarket, and fought the battle of Kernestown—Union loss not less than 2,000
Confederate loss 41"}." Barring the Imaginative
element in this account, it is not without interest.
Stonewall Jackson is everywhere described as a
" slow man," intellectually, even dull. Some say
he waB a tedious professor, aud all agree that he
bas a creeping look. And yet if you Rsk them
now what they mean by that, they say they do not
know ; "all they do know is that he is obstinate as
a mule, and plucky as a bull dog"—which means
just nothing of a man whose prime quality is celerity, quick conclusions, and startling execution :
who, aa a soldier, is as rapid aa bo is wary, abound'
ing in surprise, brave almost to rashness, and inventive almost to romance.
As for his outer man, he looks at least seven
years older than he ia—hia bight about 5 feet 10
inches; hia figure thick set, square shouldered,
and decidedly clumsy; his gait very awkward,]
stooping, and with long Btridea. He often walks
with hia head somewhat on one side, and his eyes
fixed upon the ground, imparting to his whole appearance that abstracted quality which young
ladies describe aa "absent-minded." A lady who
has known him long and well, has told me that she
never saw him on horseback without laughing—
short stirrups, knees cramped up, heels stuck out
bohiud, and chin on liis breast—a most unmllitary
phenomenon. In society he is quiet, but cheerful ;
not loquacious, but intelligent and shrewd ; in religion, tho bluest kind of a Presbyterian, and extremely strict in his church observances. In Winchester he took a very active part in revivals, and
habitually led the "Union" prayer meetings.
To illustrate tho popularity of the man : For
some reason, which haB never been mode public,
To all whom it may Concern.

AArcz of Jstci
the expediency of removing him from his command waa at one time freely discussed in the Con'
federate Cabinet, and all bnt two members favored
the motion. These two, arguing that a man of
sueh exemplary modesty, and yet of such intense
religious enthusiasm and Indomitable firmness,
must possess those moral elements which, combined with his military education and experience,
should constitute a great general,, Their opposition served to postpone a decision, and the motion
was held uuder consideration. Meantime, the
people of the valley got wind of the affair, and
with a great cry of indignation and threats 80 assailed the powers that bo at Richmond that the
question was dropped " like a hot potato." It waB
about tliis time that Jackson sent to Richmond his
rebel-famous despatch—"Send me more men and.
no orders, or moro orders and no men."
Such is tbe rebel Napoleon, for whom his people
venture to claim that in four weeks he has marched
350 miles and won four victories—that ho has crippled or dispersed the forces of Milroy and Schenck
at McDowell, Banks at Front Royal and Winchester, Fremont at Cross Keyes, and Shields at Port
itopublic—that he holds McDowell in check to take
oate ol Washington and Maryland, and monpolizes,
for the amusement ot the world, the attoniiou of
bIx distinguished generals.
But then the man is dead. Nevertheless, wheu
lately be fell back to Winchester from pursuing
Banks, he said to the people there: "Wben we
left you last March, we promised to return—and
hero we are. Now, with much mora confidence
we promise to return again, and soon. Only be
prudent and patient.'' And to the women : "Wben
the Union troops come in agaiu, as they will, do
not forget yourselves." * *
Just as I um closing this I get a fresh and interesting anecdote ol this fighting elder. The surgeon of one of the Indiana regiments and two of
his brother officers were captured by a party of
Ashby's cavalry and taken before Jackson. Ii
mediately on hearing their names be said : "It
was yon, gentlemen, who lately saved the property of a dear friend of mine in the valley from the
fury of your own men. I thank you. Havo you
any means of transportation back to your regiment?" " We have not, General." Ue then gave
them horses, an escort, and $100, and courteously
dismissed thom on their parole.
This is authentic. I have it from one of the
captured officers, whose names I am not at liberty
to mention.

THE TILL.KK OP TUB SOIL.
BY DAVID L. ROAM.
A liardy, sun-burnt man is he,
A hardy, sun burnt man ;
No sturdier man you'l! ever see,
Though all the world you scan.
In Bummer's heat, in winter's cold,
You'll find him at his toil :
O, far above the knights of old,
Is the tiller of the soil.
No weighty liars f-ccnrfl his door.
No ditch is dug around ;
His walls no cannon bristle o'er,
No dead lie on his ground.
A peaceful laborer is he,
Unknown in earth's turmoil ;
From many crushing sorrows free,
la the tiller of the soil.
Ilis stakes are seen on every side,
His barns are filled with grain ;
Though others hail not fortune's tide,
lie labors not in valu.
Tiie land gives up its rich increase,
The Bweet reward of toil,
And blest with happiness aud peace,
Is the tiller ot the soil.
lie trudges out at break of day.
And takes hia way along,
And us he turns the yielding clay,
He sings a joyful song.
He is no dull, unhappy wight,
Bound in misfortune's coil ;
The smile is bright, the heart is light,
Of the tiller of the soil.
And when the orb of day bas crowned
Wilh gold tho .western eky.
Before bis dwelling he is found,
With cheerful faces by—
With little laughing duplicates,
Caresses will not spoil;
O, joy at every tide awaits
The tiller of tbe soil.
A hardy, sun-burnt man is ho,
A hardy, sun-burnt man ;
But who can boast a hand eo free,
As he, the tiller, cau?
No summer's heat, no winter's cold,
The power has bim to foil:
O, far above the knights of old
Is the tiller of the soil!
